The Crow (Kim Taehyung Hybrid Au)

chapter 21

"Pain."

Taehyung's eyes widened when noticing her getting closer and immediately turned around only to fall onto his face when doing so, his neck began to sting even more and now his nose was acting weird as well, he shakily moved his hand to touch a warm substance and saw blood.

"Jesus Christ..." Mirae sighed, guilt building up inside her as she continued to watch his desperate state.

Taehyung tried to drag his body further into the Hallway but failed, his body was surprisingly weaker than normal. He felt his eyes water as he pressed his cheek against the cool floor underneath him while his wings served as a large blanket over his body.

"Are you okay?" Mirae knelt next to him and hesitated before brushing his wavy black hair away from his face. His breathing seemed to ease a little once in contact with the cold floor, he stared up at her, his icy blue eyes twitching slightly with tiredness.

"Breathe with me, okay?" Mirae whispered and pointed at her chest. Taehyung simply watched  as she took a deep inhale and soon enough a long exhale, he began to slowly imitate her until his own breathing steadied.

She watched as drip of blood fell onto the floor and stood up to walk towards the kitchen, she grabbed a few paper towels and came back to the hybrid, folding one of the towels into a little cilinder before sticking it into Taehyung's nose to stop the bleeding.

"Kang..." He whimpered while getting himself up into a sitting position.

"What?" Mirae looked up at him.

"Can I touch you?" He asked, his voice small and vulnerable.

Mirae gulped, looking down as she played with her own hands for an answer. Eventually, and hesitantly, she nodded and watched as he hesitated as well and moved his body closer to her's until he finally wrapped his arms around her neck and pulled her towards him.

Mirae scoffed, "You could've just said you wanted a hug." then chuckled. The word seemed to had peeked his interest as he pulled away from her.

"Hug. You did that once." He said, the faint memory replaying over his head. Mirae couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when remembering the same scenario.

"Nevermind that." Mirae shook her head and stood up, slowly reaching out her hand to him. He eyed her in confusion.
"It's getting late and I need to make dinner, you can sit on the couch as usual." Mirae shrugged whilst waiting for a response.

Taehyung accepted her hand and felt himself being slowly lift from the ground due to the heaviness of his wings. Mirae sighed in relief when done and began to walk over to the kitchen, Taehyung followed.

The intensity of his eyes as they stared down at Mirae mare her feel rather uncomfortable, she gave him a quick glance and looked away when meeting his eyes with her's.

"What is it this time?" She sighed.

"I feel...wrong." Taehyung said while looking down at his hands, Mirae tilted her head while looking up at him.

"Nothing's wrong with you," Mirae scoffed with a smug look, "You're human now."

"Human." Taehyung mumbled while feeling the bandage over his neck. The slight pressure bringing back that same sting from before, he gulped.
